Dopamine antibodies (AB) were singularly injected to C57B1/6 mice intraperitoneally. The locomotor activity in the open field was suppressed for 5 days in the majority of the animals. Hyperalgesia revealed 1.5 h and 1 day after the AB injection changed for analgesia on the 5th day. A sharp reduction of the brain level of dopamine and its metabolite was revealed 1 and 5 days after the AB injection, the serotonin content was increased within 1 day and decreased within 5 days after the injection. No action of the AB on cells of the immune system was observed. The possible mechanisms of the AB neurotropic action are discussed.
